| 1A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. | 1I will lift up my soul to you, LORD. |
| 2O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. | 2I trust in you, my God, do not let me be ashamed; do not let my enemies triumph over me. |
| 3Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. | 3Indeed, no one who waits on you will be ashamed, but those who offend for no reason will be put to shame. |
| 4Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. | 4Cause me to understand your ways, LORD; teach me your paths. |
| 5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. | 5Guide me in your truth and teach me; for you are the God who delivers me. All day long I have waited for you. |
| 6Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. | 6Remember, LORD, your tender mercies and your gracious love; indeed, they are eternal! |
| 7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. | 7Do not remember my youthful sins and transgressions; but remember me in light of your gracious love, in light of your goodness, LORD. |
| 8Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. | 8The LORD is good and just; therefore he will teach sinners concerning the way. |
| 9The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. | 9He will guide the humble to justice; he will teach the humble his way. |
| 10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. | 10All the paths of the LORD lead to gracious love and truth for those who keep his covenant and his decrees. |
| 11For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. | 11For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my sin, for it is great. |
| 12What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. | 12Who is the man who fears the LORD? God will teach him the path he should choose. |
| 13His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. | 13He will experience good things; his descendants will inherit the earth. |
| 14The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. | 14The intimate counsel of the LORD is for those who fear him so they may know his covenant. |
| 15Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. | 15My eyes look to the LORD continuously, because he's the one who releases my feet from the trap. |
| 16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. | 16Turn toward me and have mercy on me, for I am lonely and oppressed. |
| 17The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. | 17The troubles of my heart have increased; bring me out of my distress! |
| 18Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. | 18Look upon my distress and affliction; forgive all my sins. |
| 19Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. | 19Look how many enemies I have gained! They hate me with a vicious hatred. |
| 20O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. | 20Preserve my life and deliver me; do not let me be ashamed, because I take refuge in you. |
| 21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. | 21Integrity and justice will preserve me, because I wait on you. |
| 22Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. | 22Redeem Israel, God, from all its troubles. |
